This course is about survival. It is a very well thought out intense course. The information that you receive is invaluable. I have studied a variety of martial arts for most of my life. I have also done security work in a variety of settings. However, even people who are not trained martial artists can follow Nick's teachings and feel more confident in their ability to not only protect themselves against a knife attack, but any kind of attack. In each course I learned something different. He gives you realistic scenarios and shows you how to survive the most common knife attacks. Most peop!e do not realize that even 4 inches of a knife is more than enough to kill you. In addition to showing you great upper body skil!, he also shows you great footwork. There are different systems that people teach where you spend a !omg time just learning very intricate footwork. I know one instructor who spends 50 minutes out of a 60 minute class just doing footwork. Footwork is important, but if it is too complicated to learn people will not be able to do it under pressure unless you devote many hours to practicing it. With Nick his footwork is very easy to learn and his techniques are easy to follow. I really like his emphasis on situational awareness. You have to pay attention to your surroundings and to peop!e who are around you. You have to be prepared to defend yourself if you are confronted by an attacker. One of the biggest benefits that I have learned is how to explain principles and concepts better. I have taken all of Nick's courses and with each course I learned something new and benefited from it. In my opinion it is extremely important to find an instructor who can explain things easy and demonstrate how to survive if if you are attacked. Nick Drossos is a teacher and a fighter. I would also recommend that everyone should look at his YouTube channel and like and subscribe. My mom is 67 years old and disabled. I had her watch his Women's Shield Program and his YouTube channel and she has learned so much. She definitely feels much more confident in her ability to handle a potential threat if she finds herself in that situation. I am going to encourage her to continue her self defense training by watching Nick Drossos. Sincerely, Jason Smith

    The fundamental objective of the Tactical Edge Defense program is to make you skilled and shrewd in defending against any type of knife or edged weapon attack.

  • Why is knife defense so vital in self-defense training?

    Learning knife and edged weapon defense is crucial. Both are deadly and may enter into an attack or fight at any time!

Homicides using knives and cutting instruments rank third, only after guns and firearms, making knife defense urgent.
